by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Shakhovskoy (1777 - 1846)

Dve pesni Bašlyka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne znaval ja rodu-plemeni,
JA ne vidyval rodnoj materi,
JA ne slychival o rodnoj sestre;
Zval čužogo rodnym batjuškoj,
Zval čužogo rodnym batjuškoj,
Rodnym batjuškoj!

A už vzjal ja, ne sosvatavšis',
Krasnu devicu v molody ženy;
Da i ta žena ešče zaživo
Promenjala dobra molodca
Na kupčinu neključimogo, neključimogo.

Ach! zatem li ja na svet rožden,
Čtob dostat'sja na posmešišče
Neključimomu da izmennice, da izmennice?
Na posmešišče neključimomu da izmennice.

Naletal sokol iz podnebes'ja,
Vyrval lastočku iz tepla gnezda;
Ne dlja radosti, ne dlja sladosti,
Iz obyčaja molodeckogo.
Ne dostat'sja ž ty, moja lastočka,
Už li mne nikomu, ni zlodeju moemu.
